Doar's pass interception which started the Lobos to their first touchdown came early in the second quarter. Previously Merriman had broken up a Lobo offensive by snatching a New Mexico pass at his 30-yard line and running to the 35 and then Stehley had gotten away for a dash to the New Mexico 39. Two more plays moved the ball to the 28 and that was the juncture where Doar's interception changed the complexion of the game.

The University of New Mexico football team closed Its regular schedule on Zimmerman Field lllini Top Big Look to Pasadena EVANSTON, 111., Nov. 23 Illinois won its first Big Nine championship since 1928 and probably a Rose Bowl bid with a 20 to 0 victory over cripsWed Northwestern before 47,000 at Dyche Stadium today.

The Indians clearly were superior in all Saturday afternoon in the best The Lobos put the ball in play at their 24.

Brock lost a yard on hjs first attempt to get a pass away. He promptly tried again with conspicuous success. Lou Cullen clasped the ball at the New Mexico 42 and sped 58 yards down the west side of the field to the north goal line. About 12 yards out it looked as though a Kansas Stater was going to cut him down, but Lou thrust out a possible fashion. The Lobos knocked off Kansas Slate, 14 to 7, before about 7000 onlookers.

The victory put the locals on the right side of the ledger for the season, with a record of five wins, four llosses and one tie They had ended their Border Conference campaign the week before against Arizona with the commendable record of four vic di 4 -iff; i ir at straight-arm that ruined the Wildcats' plans and hurried on New Mexico's cross-country team won its second race in as many attempts Saturday afternoon, beating Tempe, 20 to 35, between halves of the Lobo-Kan-sas State football game. The runners finished on the cinder track in front of the main stand on Zimmerman Field. Frank Watson of New Mexico led the parade through the stadium gate from the cross-country course. The other four Lobos whose order of finish figured in the score were Oscar Shirley, third; Frank Hogan, fourth; Ben Agogino, fifth, and Spence Dea-vitt, seventh. The first five men to finish on each side counted in the score, with the low total winning.

Tempe men came in second, sixth, eighth, ninth and tenth. The winner's time was 18 minutes and 17 seconds. Roy Johnson, athletic director and track coach, said that there was no chance to enter the Lobos in the national cross-country meet at Lansing, Dec. 2. There was some talk of sending the team to the meet after its convincing triumph over Texas Teach two weeks ago, but later it was learned that the entry list had closed several weeks before.

Johnson said that other crosscountry meets would be scheduled in this section if possible. Full-scale practice for the varsity track squad will begin Monday, he announced. ATLANTA, Nov. 23 (Continuing the sub-par golf which swept him into the lead yesterday, Lou Worsham of Washington, b. fired a three-under-par 69 today in the $12,000 Druid Hills invitation golf tournament for a 54-hole total of 205, and a four-stroke lead over his nearest competitor.

Worsham, 29-year-old veteran of 30 months in the Navy, whose, closest approach to winning a major tournament was a tie this year in The Philadelphia Inquirer invitational event, toured the first nine of the 6575-yard course in 33 and finished with a par 36. Jimmy Demaret of Houston. and Joe Zarhardt of Norris-town, each with 70 today, remained deadlocked for second place with 209, three strokes better than Tommy Boll of Shreve-port, and Fred Haas Jr. of New Orleans.

Frank Stranahan of Toledo, '--ixi HACKETT ON THE LOOSE: Huyh Hackett, whose kicking previously had made him a valuable person to me University of New Mexico, pea led off several sparkling runs Saturday against Kansas Stale.

Here he is in the midst of one of them which helped to set up the winning touchdown. The Wildcat who seems about to make the pinch is Center John Conlsy. Oiher Lobos in the picture are Lawrence Taylor (13) and Fred Doar (49). Identifiable Wildcat are Bob Berry (50), Rolling Prather (71) and Edgar Mc Neil (67). Cadets Trounce Greyhounds, 14-7 into the end zone.

Hackett went into the game for his customary kicking assignment and drilled the ball over the crossbar for the seventh point. Whelchel Juggles Ball A splendid juggling act by Whitey Whelchel opened the drive to the winning score in the fourth period. Lewis Turner, Kansas State quarterback, hurled a pass which bounced off the hands of the chosen receiver to Whelchel, juggled' it beautifully for a few seconds before he finally got a strange hold on it. So the Lobos had the ball at their 41-yard line. Hackett threw a forward to Rudy Krall, who took it at the Kansas State 40 and galloped to the 15 before he was hauled down.

Hackett carried the ball three successive times, gaining first to the 10, then to the four and then to the two. Krall took a slug at the line and picked up one of the remaining yards. Then Geter took the leather and jostled his way across the goal line. Hackett booted another beauty and that was that. The final quarter was half over.

The Wildcats held our fellows In check through the remainder shot 70 to lead the amateurs and tie with two others for tenth place. Sammy Snead of Hot Springs, and Johnny Palmer of Badin, N. wound up today at 215. Snead carded a which tied for the day's lowest score, and Palmer had 71. tories and a tie against two de-leats.

The Wildcats tied the count in the third quarter when halfback Harry Merriman scored from 41 yards out on a dash through the Lobo line. Quarterback Harmon Lesco converted. 59-Yard Advance A 59-yard march produced the winning touchdown and again if was a pass play that brought the biggest gain.

Hackett flipped one to Rudy Krall for a 44-yard advance to the Kansas 15-yard line and six plays later Bill Geter went over from the one yard line for the score, Hackett again contributed the additional point. Hackett, previously renowned as an accomplished kicker, also proved himself a handy citizen at throwing the i ball and running with it. Cullen, who has htn the No. 1 man In th nffenn about all season, retired from the game in the third period after an Injury and it could not he unlrl for certain whether he would he able to play any more football thia year. It was feared that, abdominal muscles mlpht be too severely Injured to permit any more heavy work In the next few months.

Cullen's touchdown brought his coring total for the year up to 48 points. Lawrence Taylor, who went Into the (tame early a substitute fruard and made himself so solid there that he played the greater part of the remainder, was a standout In the New Mexico line. Two Interceptions Help Two other Lobo linemen distinguished themselves by Intercepting enemy passes and In each ease the Interception started an offensive that resulted In a touchdown. Center Fred Doar wa the first interceptor and Guard Tom (Whitey) Whelchel the second. The Kansas State offense didn't give the Lobos a terrific amount of worry at any time.

The only time the Wildcats scored It was done In such a hurry that nobody had time to wonder if such a thing PORTALES, Nov. 23 t-A final quarter passing attack by New Mexico Military Institute brought the Cadets from behind and gave them a 14-7 victory today over Eastern New Mexico College. The game finished the 1946 campaign for both elevens and gave NMMI third place in New Mexico Conference standings behind Adams State and New Mexico State Teachers. Eastern New Mexico counted in the first period on Quarterback Mart Cope's plunge from the 10.

Taking over after an ENMC punt to the NMMI 35, Left Half Falto pitched 20 yards to Moore, an end, who downed on the Greyhound 43 Walker worked it to the 30 in i series of line crashes, and then tossed to Moore on the 15.
